The current soda policy is that a sale of many sweetened drinks in containers larger than 16 ounces,will not be allowed unless in a super-market. This is in hopes of trying to end obeisidy in the New York area. People who want to enjoy a soda can't do so if they want one over 16 oz this is wrong for two reasons one taking freedom from the people and businesses and also having too much govermental control in or lives. Is obesity a proplem yes can soda make that problem worse yes, but is that for the governmet to decide. The person who is over weight that drinks soda isn't going to stop just because of a new law. There is more health changes in ones life than soda if they wnat to be not over-weight.
Give people freedom and take government out of our lives.

Since my opponent didn't give an argument.
I will just finish by saying this would be wrong for people's and business' freedom and liberty to sell and buy what they want.
If someone wants to put this much sugar in there body (http://www.sugarstacks.com...) they should be allowed no matter the damage to health.
The government can't be our mother telling us what not to eat, but keep each person to have freedom.

the govermt should be able to make choices about what people dirnk and eat if that food is going to harm their health. it's clear the government knows more about health and science than most peole and their job is to kkep us healthy

Reasons for voting decision: Pro forfeited the only round where he was allowed to make new arguments. He then proceeded to make new arguments in the last round, but these arguments were little more than assertions of his position, so he can't be awarded any points.

Reasons for voting decision: Con obviously provides better S&G, conduct to con for pro's forfeit, sources because con was the only one to provide them, and arguments are rather obvious; pro made a simple restatement of the resolution and then failed to provide any sources.
